  • Title: Abdominal Pain in a Young Female Adolescent: Point-of-Care Ultrasound Added Value.
    Author: Valle Alonso J, Ruffino G, Hurdidge E.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2020 Jul; 36(7):355-357. PubMed ID: 31851073.
    Abstract:
    An adolescent female patient presented to the emergency department with diffuse, severe lower abdominal pain and vomiting. The initial suspected diagnosis was appendicitis. Point-of-care ultrasound did not visualize the appendix but demonstrated a suspected left ovarian torsion, which was confirmed by radiology-performed ultrasound. The clinical presentation, in combination with images obtained via point-of-care ultrasound, helped to expedite gynecology consultation and immediate surgery.
